All Day Calendar Event Problem
 

Hi all,

This happens to me every time I do a software upgrade on my Bold9000. After the upgrade, I sync it with DM. The problem is, all of the All Day events on my BB change to a start time of 4am and go through the next day, so say someone's birthday will be on my calendar for 2 days. I've searched and searched, but can't find a way to make the start time of an All Day event on my BB start at 12am, which is how it is in Outlook.

Is there any solution that I have not found?

Thanks

Before you do an upgrade, sync your BB, then clear your calendar events via the DM, preform the upgrade then re-sync, this is what I do, there maybe an easier way though.

As of now you can just clear the calendar via DM and re-sync and this will take care of the issue.

Check your calendar options in Outlook for a start /end time on calender entries.
example mine is set to 8am to 5pm

The 2 day birthday issue is known. read here

Thanks for your help. Wiping my calendar and contacts before an upgrade is probably the best way to solve this. Because one other time I upgraded I had a problem with duplicate contacts. That was also a pain. I think it's because I have several email accounts on my BB? Anyway, starting fresh on the BB after an upgrade is probably a good idea anyway.

For this time, since I've already done the upgrade, I spent some time last night going into each All Day event on my BB, clearing and then re-checking the All Day box and that reset it to start at 12am instead of 4am, and now there is no problem syncing.

I can't believe Blackberry hasn't resolved this issue yet because I had the same problem when I had OS 4.5, 4.6 and now 5.x

Thanks again.
